FReeper kayak who passed away recently used to have a quote up from Reagan about how upset his supporters were in California when he was Governor about the compromises he had made.
There’s no question that some compromises shouldn’t be made, but it doesn’t mean that none should either.
Like his compromise on the abortion bill, which he was told would be great, but he deeply regretted later when he saw how bad it really was.
..she was a true & dear Christian lady and patriot.
Leave her name out of this...!!
Providing de facto permanent residence to illegal aliens who are uneducated, unskilled, do not speak English, and are literally peasants in their own country - while even highly qualified law-abiding applicants wait patiently for years in their home countries - is immoral and unethical.
Is that your "compromise"?
President Bush promised a temporary program in writing and in his Jan 2004 speech, and has touted a "temporary" program until very recently.
Obviously he was lying to his consituents and the American public.
Is that the "compromise" he's made?
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it." ~~ Ronald ReaganI have highlighted a very important thing in boldface. First of all, I don't see the position of "we'll fight for the rest later" being espoused by the open-border, amnesty RINOs. Secondly, the first part hasn't been met--75 or 80%. One must realize that Ronald Reagan didn't fight for all but the barbed wire to be removed when he said, "Tear Down This Wall!"...his goal was 100%. Until we're on a course that doesn't permanently cripple our ability to get 100%, then we aren't at a point where compromise is a responsible course.
